Natural birth stories?

Question

I’m interested in doing natural birth, I’m scared but also excited. I want to squat or be on all fours. Anyone do it like that?

Answer

Laboured on all fours in the shower. Then I got up, ran to the bed between contraction and gave birth on all fours on the bed. It's good because gravity helps.

Answer

i laid on my side ! natural birth story is posted on my profile 💜

Answer

I have birthed on all fours with my second. Baby practically fell out. It was way better than birthing on my back like my first birth. The baby comes out really easily.

Answer

Labored with both my kiddos on all fours/standing, and pushed my first out into my arms from a kneeling position. My second I was on my side, only because the doctor was freaking out about me not being "textbook", and I was turning around to tell him off when baby came 😅

Answer

I’ve done three natural births. First two was on my back. Most recently gave birth hanging from a pull up bar. Gravity definitely helped. Was super close to doing it on the toilet though as that’s where I felt the most comfortable lol.

Answer

Had my second naturally. Wanted my first naturally but had no idea what I was in for the first time 😂 I’m prepared now, at least I think I am. I’m hoping my third will be the same as my second but who knows?! Birth is always a rollercoaster.

Answer

I was on my knees leaning on the back of the hospital bed(it was up right) with my 2nd and third. Best way as far as I’m concerned. I was on my back for my first and it was torture. All three unmedicated but my labor was so long with my first that I was so exhausted I couldn’t do anything else at that point but lay on my back. 
I had my second son on the 17th- I pushed for 3 minutes and out he came - and he was 9lb 8oz!!

Answer

Planned water birth. Was great. I was encouraged to push way to early leaning me towards hours of unnecessary pain and energy. When it came to transitioning and pushing I was so tired I couldn’t anymore. Rushed to hospital, while in ambulance I had hard eargges to push but was told to hold them 🙄 got into the delivery room and pushed baby out in 2 mins. Had post trauma from delivery for weeks. I would do home birth/water birth but I would just listen to my body more and not what others say during labour.

Answer

Squatted with my last baby. He came out all at once without me having an active pushing phase, my body just did it all by itself. Midwife barely caught him, lol!

Answer

I tried on all 4’s with my first and wanted to die lol it made everything hurt so much more for me. Was a little disappointed.
Labored squatting with my second and that was nice, most comfortable position I could find with him. Unfortunately had to get on my back last minute because his heart rate was dropping crazy low and they needed to break my water and get him out asap.
